Dessie Swayne Orchestrating PMQs

Dessie Swayne, the PM’s PPS, has had issues with emails leaking before. The Sunday Telegraph got hold of his email to Tory MPs an hour before the PMQs battle. He gives them their orders:

From: SWAYNE, Desmond
Sent: 23 May 2012 10:58
Subject: PMQs

Comrades,

Given the ‘shivers’ of Christine Lagarde I hope you will agree with me that it will be appropriate for Ed Milliband to be greeted when he rises for the first time (there are no tributes to-day) with vociferous demands for an apology.

Last week we rather dried up as the half hour wore on, and comrades at the end of the order paper did not enjoy as vociferous support as they deserved, nor the PM’s responses to them: Please show sufficient stamina for full half hour.

Free hits on business successes from your constituencies are welcome.

The week before it was

From: SWAYNE, Desmond
Sent: 16 May 2012 10:45
Subject: PMQs

Comrades,

There are 2 free hits, but there may be more at the end as it is a relatively short order paper to-day.

I anticipate lots of LoL gags so let’s have a protective wall of sound. If Ed even grudgingly acknowledges anything positive in to-day’s unemployment figures then instantaneously bring down the roof ‘yereyereyere…”. Notwithstanding the unemployment figures I anticipate the main attack will be ‘recession made in downing street … eurozone avoided UK double dip … etc’ so can we have lots of positive endorsements of our strategy using local examples of export success/expansion.

We know this is a game played by both sides. It is embarrassing to see it in print. Another little sign that discipline is breaking down on Tory backbenches.

        Dear Comrades, we’re allowing 10,000 immigrants a week into Britain – just like the NuLabScum did.
        We’ll keep quiet about that, though.

      The coalition has not been an effective enough government. The only people who are misguided enough to believe otherwise are failing to get out of Westminster often enough.

      Never ever i thought I would see the day when conservative MPs were called comrades. That’s it for me I will never vote Conservative again until this person is sacked and an apology given.

    One could say that certian bloggers and journolists get these e-mails every week ( i include you in this) so you can theme the views on Pmqs, Most of your Livechat titles are always bang on.

    So one could say this could be you trying to distance yourself from the coalition.

    But i could`nt possibly comment ;)

    This is supposed to be “The Mother of Parliaments”. Successive generations of semi-literate, totally dishonest scum politicians and their overpaid hangers-on have turned the whole thing into a 3-ring circus, with every act being that of not-very-funny clowns.

    There are enough lamp-posts around Westminster to accommodate the lot, so really the best thing is to start stringing them up pronto.

    ‘Discipline breaking down on Tory backbenches’

    The Tory backbenchers are a rabble i grant you that, but this time I can entirely sympathise with the anger and frustration many of these soon to be ex-Tory MP’s feel.

    Labour left this nation in massive debt despite inheriting a rapidly growing economy with a balanced budget, and yet after two and a bit years, the ineptitude of the PM and his gang, allied to the cuckoo in the nest Lib Dems means we will soon have the crazed spendaholic Balls, and his Marxist sidekick Millipede running the nation.

    Of course the UK is largely a Labour supporting nation, as a Labour government means free money for scroungers and state employed paper shufflers, but how can it have gone so wrong in under three years?

    We need an idealogue at the helm, someone who holds beliefs, and will stick to them.
    Labour will smash the economy again and continue to allow the world to come and have free operations & housing here, so the Tory party needs someone who can draw a dividing line.

      Dick the Prick says:

      ***NEWSFLASH*** the Tories are doing exactly the same thing except making sure their chums run the franchises. The amount of excuses, the lack of strategy, the fuck up of policy announcements, of PR, of any sop to appease those who voted, campaigned, worked for them. They complain that government’s too hard, too complex yet Cameron sacks CCHQ and defers to civil servants. The lesson after 13 years of Labour and 2 years of Tory is that they’re all full of shit.

      Labour promoted equality by bringing us all down to their level and the Tories seem ashamed of excellence and too blinkered to realise that a 1 term government pegged by the Lib Dems will achieve nothing. We’re treading water until Millibland gets in unless the SNP pull off a blinder. I’m fucking offended.

        Honest View says:

        We get the Government we deserve. The nation, as far as it thinks at all, has swung to the left over a period of, say, 50 years. Now, the dependency culture is too accepted and familiar for us to escape. Too many suck the State Teat. A proper Conservative government is almost impossible to envisage, especially in an age of dumbed down education and a State Socialist Broadcasting domination.

      erm, as oposed to all those’ horny handed sons of the soil’ on the labour benches !!!

      Tory Mp’s at least have some likelehood of having had a constructive career before opting for the public teat.

      Even the tory front bench ruling clique of PPE’s , probably win a points decision over the labour front bench clique of PPE’s.
      Just to remind you, they’re the ones who knew the guy running the economy down the shitter was a deranged lunatic, but left him to it, just to keep in power. Now fuck off back to labourlost.

    The swine! just like pigs at the trough …. with all their comrades.

    On another matter – It appears in the Maillegraph that Michael Dugher (who finally got himself elected as an MP in 2010) is attempting to lead the calls for war si to resign when it was Nick G who made the complaint.

    Hold your horses all you “Reactionary pinkos” – The “issue” is against Warsi.

    Francis Elliott – wrote in the Sun Telegraph some years ago an article – which he appears to have forgotten …. (Convenient amnesia) it named Dugher as a bully boy enforcer – down at millbank.

    Dugher – has a very ‘dubious background himself’ – from his days as being a SpAd – for Blairs favourite Union Baron – Sir Ken Jackson (of AEEU days)

    Dugher – was one of Geoff Buff Hoons SpAds at the kelly hutton Iraq – not on Oath huton whitewash ….

    What a shame Elliott – did not at the time – persue ‘evidence that had been brought to his attention’ – and why didn’t Elliott report certain matters to the police?

    What goes around comes around. Some of it was not ever meant to come out but its going to.

            “This time the Marxists are going down – forever.” The Correct terminology should have been:-

            This time the Marxists and those who should be ashamed of themselves for having fallen for the Marxist duplicity, like those who espouse – wordings like (without actually knowing anything about history – but who are aboard the gravy-train – The Swine/s) Comrades! are going down – forever.

            Please don’t put me in prison ‘cos I’m really, really scared and fearful …. that I might get known as a bit of a dissident.

Tom Harris bemoans the public’s attitude to politicians…

“Mr Oborne echoes the lazy, anti-politics whine we hear so often these days, all based on the absurd notion that politicians were once loved and only fell out of public favour during the expenses scandal. He should take a walk to the Strangers’ Bar. But not to sup with the patrons he seems to despise so much, dearie me, no; he should instead look at the paintings on the corridor outside the bar, which depict the devastating fire which consumed most of the Palace in 1834. And he should reflect on the fact that on that dramatic night, as the Commons went up in flames, a crowd gathered on the South Bank to clap and cheer.”



Focus group time. says:

The thing that Dave needs to work out is which group is more likely to vote Conservative. Mad swivel-eyed loons or mad homosexuals wishing to get married.
